Dear Walters,
Although the special circular Mo. 363 of the I7th
r.bruory, concerning th. need for economy for 198»,
appll.. to th. Refugee re well as to other section» of
the S.crstsrlnt, It was only brought to my not toe y „ -
torday when the Financial Director .*pr.ss.d surprla.
at not receiving a report from our section.
This Is not en Isolated case and Ignorance of the
Issue of each circulars nay very well give rise to an
«•lust criticism that the High c o m m l o e M U t 1. negligent
In these matters.
In these olroramtanoee. I should be very grate-
fnl If you would very kindly Issue Instructions to the
appropriate department, requesting that th. High Commis
sariat may be regularly supplied with circular, of this
natur., which apply tc it In common with other Sections
of the .'Secretariat.

Lo Ilaut-Comuaaaairo pour lea téfugiés îuaoes so permet d'attirer respectueusement 1*attention du Gouver- nement polonais aur les faits suivants:-
Le ieorétairo général a ou l'honneur de voua transmettre par aa lettre du 18 avril, la recommandation au Conseil relative aux passeports et aux facilités de voyage pour les réfugiés russes. Vous avez bien voulu l'informer duis votre rdponae, il ° K.III.8146/22, du 19 mai 192.;, que le Gouvernement polonais soumettait la question à l1 examen doa autoritéa compétentes. Ün même temps, -ionaiour lo Haut-Oommlaaairo 21ans on avait la satisfaction do recevoir 1* assurance au vif intérôt que le Gouvernement polon.ii 3 prenait à la question; 1' attitude du Gouvernement polonala était encore confirmée par lo participation du îepréaentant de la Pologne à la âonféronoe gouvernementale tenue aur ce sujet les ô,4 et 5 Juillet 19 r ? à Genève.
Le texte i e l'Arrangement -ulopté par cette Oonfé- renco et le modèle ue certificat d'identité qui a été proposé pour les réfugiés russes ont été communiqués ultérieurement, aous couvert de la pièce C.L. 79, on date du II aofît 1922, au Gouvernement polonais on memo temps qu'aux autres Stats ...ombres de la :3ooiété, et à l'Allemagne, pour être approuvés et définitivement adoptés par lui. La plupart doa principaux p-iya d'Europe, ainsi que l'Allemagne, ont fuit connaître qu'ils étaient disposés à adopter lo certificat d'identité proposé par la Conférence ue Genève et à l'appliquer immédiatement sur leurs territoires respectifs.
Comme 11 est essentiel, pour que le régime aes certificats fonctionne avec succès, qu'il "soit appliqué d'une manière uniforme, - condition qui permettra de faire passer plus facilement los réfugiés des pays où ils se trouvent en nombre excessif et sans travail dans d'autres pays où ils pourront se suffire à eux-mêmes, grâce à un t ravail rémunérateur,™ lo Haut-Com .1jaaire serait très heureux de savoir si lo Gouvernement polonais est actuellement on mesure t.e lui faire connaître la déolaion qu'il a prise à cet égard.
L'attitude extrêmement généreuse que le Gouvernement polonaises toujours auoptée dans les questions ^ui touchent au bien-être aes réfugiés russes p ex* met au Dr. IIans en d'espérer fermement que le Gouvernement polonais aooordera tout son appui à une mesure uont la portée est aussi considérable ot qui est aestinée à hâter la nolution uu problème aes réfugiés russes.

Dear Colline,
I cm In receipt of your letter Jh/lb/:88 of the 23rd
February* enclosing a llet of 8t0 refugees repatriate» to
Novorosslsk by s .b . "Belgravlen", on the I9th Pebrunry»
This list le only signed by Baker nndvdb must Insist on
having at lenet three ooplee signed by Koreohkov. One of
those Is to bo sont to Co.vln'o representative with the ship
carrying the refugees • nd tho two others to Geneve, One oopy
is then transmitted by us to Gorvln. It would be difficult
to afford protootlon to the repatriated refugees In Russia,
if we oannot prove by a list eigne cl by Koreehkev that the
repatriated refugees claiming protection have been paused
by the apvbet Repreuent^tlve In Bulgaria.
I should be grateful therefore. If you would kindly send
us, s soon as possible, t'O lists signed by Horeohkov, of the
810 refugees repatriated on the I9th February.
Yours sincerely.

1My dear Prlok,
I hnve now reoelved a reply from ReymomA regarding
the metter referred to In your letter No. 3253 of the
4th January.
It la very difficult Indeed to form any accurate Idea
ae to the true feote of the oaee, espeolally as Lubllnaky
turned up In Geneva and made all aorta of wild statements
against all and sundry. I em by no meane sure that he
waa not Inspired In Vienna by the Russian representative
Shabelaky, who hna apparently declared a feud r.galnat the
High ComnlsBarlat’e delegfltlcn In Vienna.
In any ccae I took the opportunity of telling Reymond
that I v/aa unwilling to bolleve that any offlolal of the
High Commissariat could pocslbly act in the manner nttrl-
buted to hie assistant.
I return the enoloauree to your letter of January
4th ce requested.
Yours sincerely.

Cher Monsieur Aboreon,
Me référant fc la promesse que Je voue ai faite durant nos récenteb conversations, Je vous envole, ci-Joint, une oople du dernier rapport de notre délégué ti Varsovie, le Major flerdoz, ainsi que oopies de aer, nnnexee, relatives à 1*expulsion des réfugiés non politiques de la Pologne*
Je saisie oette oooaeion pour vous prier instamment de bien vouloir me soumettre, aussitôt ue poeBible, des propositions concrètes, au nom de votre Comité et des Or- genleatlons Juives alliées, qui permettraient au Haut- Commlusariat d'entreprendre, avoo uelque espoir, des dému rohe s auprès du Gouvernement Polonais, en vue d'obtenir 1'ajournement de la date d'expulsion de ces réfugiés»
Vous vous rutpelleres que le Haut-0 ommla sar1at a été avisé que, pour des raisons de politique Interne, le Gouvernement polon; le est obligé d'obtenir aussitôt que possible l'expulsion de ces réfugiés et que tout programme que le Haut-Commissariat soumettrait au Gouvernement Polonais dans oe but, devrait contenir des provisions pour 1'évacuation de oos réfugiés ondéans une période assee rapprochée»
Je viens de recevoir une lettre de U» Luolen Wolf, à ce sujet, dans laquelle 11 nous dit que, d'après lui, les organisations Juives pourrait faire les arrangements nécessaires pour le 1er. septembre.
an formulant vos propositions, vous Jugerez peut-être utile de prendre en considération la suggestion soumise par le Major Bordes, o'eet-fc-dlre que ces réfugiée pourraient être placés dans un oamp de oonoentration, sous la iiurvolllunoe du Haut-Comml ssrri• t , Jusqu'à leur évaoua-
Je vous serais également très reconnaissant de bien vouloir me soumettre votre opinion au sujet de la suggestion du Major Bordez que le Haut-Cornaitsar 1st pourrait garder, on dépôt, l'argent appartenant aux réfugiée retournant en Rut. s le, qui lour serait rendu à leur arrivée, en vue d'éviter la perte de leurs valeurs b. la frontière.

Dear M. Gwiazdowakl,
Since our last Interview regarding the expulsion of non political Russian refugees 1'rom roland, the High Commlgaarlat hue been in very olose touoh with the various reaponsible Russian Jewish Refugee Organisations, who nr* making very serious endeavours to secure the saticfaotory evacuation from Poland of these refugees.
Mr. Luoien Wolf, of the Jewish Colonisation Association, informs us that, in order to formulate a definite ooheme for the evacuation of these refugees, it will be necessary for his Committee to despatch a special Commissioner to Warsaw, to organise and supervise the evacuation on the spot. The same Comm It. si oner will. Inter, proceed to Roumanie, to arrange for a similar e- vacuation from that country.
In these circumstances, the High Commissariat would be very grateful if instructions oould be obtained from the Polish Foreign Office to the Polish Consul in Paris to give a visa to the Commisaioner in 'uoatlon, Mr. Mirkln, who has already carried outulmllar work b n co-operation with the High Commissariat.
Mr. Mlrkin has already reoeived a visa from both the British und Roumanian Governments and hie character has therefore been fully established.
I attach, for your information, a copy of a note regarding Mr. Mlrkin, which has been supplied to ua by the Parle Office of the Jew!ah Colonisation Association.
Aa the matter la of considerable urgency, especially in view of the desire of the Polish Government to secure the evacuation of these refugees at the earliest possible moment, the High Commissariat would greatly appreciate any steps which you would take to secure the issue of the necessary vlaa to Mr. Mirkln.
Yours sincerely.
Assistant High Commissioner for Refugees.

Deor Hr. - olf,
I have replied to that part of your letter of the 7th lnnt referring to the expulsion of Rar.olnn -lefugees from Roumanie
in n separate letter»
I'lie purpose of thiu lutter le to Introduce Captain Chllde, whom you already know eo well bt m-me as br. Huns eh* a dele
gate in Constantinople.
Captain Childs will explain to you verbally the steps to whioh I referred ir* my letter of the ~3rd w*>ruary and which [ suggested iir. Baker ;,iiould oommunloate to you personally after ooztoolti tlon 1th Ur, Rajohaan. £ now understand from Dr. iiajohman that the gestion of the expulsion of refugees from 1’oland was not d iuoueaed v.ith him by Mr» .laker during hie recent stay In London, b o that you oannot ue acquainted with the suggestion which I h-d in mind. Captain Chllde has now very kindly offered to oommunloite this suggestion to you.
"You will be interested in thlt; oonneotion to read the enoloued extraotu from the latest report received from our delegate in Warsaw, together 1 th a copy of a letter ho addressed to tho poliBh Covernment asking for fcn extension of the expulsion date, and a oopy of a monorsindum on the general eub- jeot of the expulsion deoreea.
After dluouoslng the whole of this question vlth the oom- petient offlolale of the League Secrétariat, £ have boon requested to obtain oonorete proposala from the Jewish organisation* for the eveouatlon of the non political refugees envlraged by the expulsion deoreeB, as It 1b felt that, in tho ubuenoe of Buoh proposals, it would be useless to re uest the ,ollsh Government to postpone further the oxpulelon date,
would >ou, therefore,be so good no to consider whether tho auggestlon made by Major berdes In his letter of tho let inut, fo tho establishment of a conoentrution camp for the accommodation of the refugees threatoned with ex lulsion, would meet with ^our approval, :ind whether your organisation ould, in udltlon, oe prepared to give a guarantee for the maintenance of a specific number of such refugeeB In the oimp, and Iso give guar ntooB to tho i ollBh Government that such rel'ugeos would be evaou- ted by échelons at stipulated dûtes. £t \ ould bo extremely valuable if, at the same time, corresponding guarantees could be obtained from other Jewish organisations Interested in this question»
r.uolen wolf,Verulum Buildings,
Gray’s Inn,
r 1In the event of favoumblo ropllee to thlo proposal
mnterliUsing from your organisation ind other Jewlan Ooenitttiee, £ think we oould opproaoh the pollnh Government with a oertoln degree of oonfldenoe.
i orhnpe you would bo 00 good , at the name time, to let me fa/ve your vlowa on the suggeBtlon made by our delegate regarding the arrangement deatlned to prevent refugee» from being relieved of their money vrhon passing the frontier. This BUKReatlfcn, of oouroe, only r.ppllea t> refugees who dealre t o b e reo.ïrl'-ted to Ruaela nd who, apparently, run the rlek of being relieved of their money when oroaalng the frontier.

in approving this oetlnv te provlolonally however, the Plntmolal ,.lrootor of the League hue rc nested un to exert every possible offort to aeeore from our delegatee a reduction on ihe expend Itarea bo allowed,
^ In the oaee of the Belgrade uffloe the auo of 31,800nwlee Franco has been provisionally approved for the year 19113, 13,8 iv frnnoa of thle amount being In reepeot of yo r personal salary, In a nepirate lotter -rltten to you to-day you will eee under what conditions the bol;noe of thle amount, w hi oil la for general dnunlstratlve expenaea, will be remitted to you In monthly Instalments,
I huve written to the International Red Crons, the Union Internationale de leooura aux enfants and the 3ave the Children hind, asking them to make a contribution as from the lat. May laet torards the expenoes of the Belgrade Uffloe >.nd, In the event of favourable replies being received from them, [ shall certainly nek the r’ln- n o l u l ylreotor to consider whether he jould not illow a portion of the Bums so received to be devoted tovarde an Increase of your per-
• aonal salary.
In the oouroo of the next fev? dnya, we hope to be able to eiend you apeolmen aooou.-it forms and a model form of aooount for guidance In oonnootlcn with your bookkeeping.

I lUlto agree v/lth you tht t It would be utterlyuseless for us to proceed to Paris or .yon» for thisConference In du Chayla's absence, as he Initiated the whole proposal, and I do not think that anything oould be achieved without his rjresenss.
[ o nnot help thinking that perhaps his soheme m .s uomov/hi t mlsotttBtv»d nd th t hlo Illness is rather of a diplomatic nattre, but as soon -,a [ have ny definite neve from hi» [ shall not frill to coamnlcate It to you.
I quite agree v1th you thut tor many reasons thepresent 1b a very epportu e moment to study the possibility suggested by du Chnyla and It Is exceedingly regrettable that e oi nnot get down to hard facts for the tl e else,
I understand that you are going to Paris In the near future and If It Is at all possible [ shoxild very much llks to discuss thle and othor matters with you*
With kind regards.Yours sincerely.

My dear ‘.odgo,
Further to my letter of the îBth Inet, und with re- fnronoe to your» of the r?th Inet, I beg to Infor» you that we roe with your Btutement of ajoounta "grosse modo"•
i’ho sum of £3j0. ho ever, whloh we ’ Bleed you to pay to Prlek, Tide our letter of the 20th February (4 6 /2 4 0 3 0 / 2L 278), a n contribution np to the end of [»££, b -'«il no the monthly remLtt-nooe of £75* for Janunry end February, do not appoar to hnve been charged.
Ab XennklH Id endeavouring to put our paedcd aooou its In proper order, ho tells ui> th t It v/ould be a groat convenience if you oould send no now definite atatementa per 3Iet tieoember r.V28, and letor on per 3Iut March r v i : 3 . , Indicating the exaot amounts received nd your tUaburse- nonte from them In the various ourronolee In v.hloh the entries tv ve been mode*
For Luefcnoe, under the £160,000 British Government ’und, you mentioned In your statement: aalarleB of Oolllne, Baker and Xonnkle: £880 pproxlmutely, Baker's salary has been paid In £• but thone of Oolllna and Xenakis hive been paid In wise frunos nd we ahoold like to know the exact -mour.te in oaoh arse.
Under the £30«u00 fund you mentioned having reoci-.TBd from the telglan Government £670. but thla payment h e been n de In frmoe bo we should like to knev whether It ste-nde In Belgian France or whother It h- e been, converted Into £•
He also oaye th> t he v/ould like to have definite statements for all the other main suoh as the "Konwn und Children In Conut.ntlnople", "Aela Minor iefugeee Fund", "tileoellnneoue & Administrative Aooou t". In order tü enable ue to eetabllah definitely the different nuoounte.
£ um afraid it would throw a lot of clerical work upon your office tu give uffeet to these vnrlouti requneta, but porhf.pe If you think of oomlng to Geneva over the tiaoter holiday you might peuelbly be able to spare Xenakla a short time before your return hen the outsta nding ooouat quoBtlom be definitely eettled.
ïoure sincerely.

In October last we reoeived a request from a
Hub a lan called Monsieur P. Mouoha In iik e te r tn o e la T that
we should endeavour to trace the whereabouts of a oertai.n
Ivan Petrovitch Moucha, formerly with General wrangel's
army In the urlmea.
We sent the details of the case to the representative
of the High Commissioner in Belgrade from whom we have
Just received the attaohod reply. I am wondering whether
you could take the neoossary steps to have it transmitted

Dear M. AâoBlûes,
I have oonaulteft the Legal Seotlon of the oeoreta- rlat relotlre to the question raised In your le ter Mo, £54 of the ôth Inst, and ara now able to oommunioats to you the following opinion on the uuijeot:-
nI) V. Demidof. is quite oorreot in raying thet the establishment cf the RtuiBian Refugees Certificate h b not been intended to interVere with the issue and utilleatlon either of Bolshevist or non-Bolshevlat passports and dooumentc of identity. It represents an entirely separate cyetem oreated for utilisation in oases where, i'or any reason, neither Bolshevist nor non-Bolshevist Bob Bien documenta of identity oin effectively bo employed.
E) On the other hand, the new oertifloate doee not oall for any intervention or visa by any Russian authority whether Bolshevist or non-Bolshevist. It aomee into existence or. the sole authority of the government hloh issues it, end its utility for purposed of tr?veiling to, or torons, other countries depends upon auoh oountri s having greed to reoognlse it. There 1b nothing in the system to suggest that either the issuing governmont or the governments vhloh reoognlae the certificate shall consult any Rur.sian uthorlty or require any kind of viaa from any Russian authority. In short, the Hansen uyctem la entirely dctaohed, in principle, from all aotivitlee of fny sort of Russian authority»
3) A government leaning the oatificates Is entitled to obtain Information about epplloante from any aouroe it llkeB, and Consequently there 1b nothing to prevent ltu obtaining auoh Information from non-Bolchevlet Russian Conauls. Apparently, the French Government have >dopted this course, which 1b however in no way inherent to the Nansen plan and v hlch no other Government 1b held to follow. It should probably be re- g!rtiefl contrary to the principle of the Hansen system for the identity certlfioi tea to bo officially oonneotad with the erletenoe of non-Holshevlet Consulates, through *oGiving their visa. The establishment of such a connection might possibly interfere with the utility of the certificates vlB-h-vls
"govemmenta which have reoofcnlaed the Bolshevlat Government."

My dear Frick,
The enclosed le a oopy of a letter whloh hae been reeelred by the Secretary General from the British Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, relative to the lean of Oorvin’s services to Dr. Hansen, in oonneotlon with his work in Russia.
Will you very kindly let me knew, at year earliest convenience, whether and for what period you will require Oorvln'e services loaned, in order that we any immediately send an official reply to the British Goverxawnt.
As far s the refugee work is concerned, it will be absolutely essential for us to have the use of the eer- vloes of a capable representative In Moscow up to the end of the current year at least, and if the repatriation work develops in accordance with our expectations, it will be necessary for Dr. Hansen to have a representative in Moscow in I9E4 also. You will remember. In this oonneotlon, that you have already kindly offerad Qorvin"services for the remainder of the present year in return for a retaining fee which we agreed upon during our last conversation in Ber-
I should very much like to have an opportunity of discussing this and other matters with you should you be In Geneva or Paris in the near future.
With kind regards,Yours sincerely,

i; beg to submit herewith, for your consideration, a letter d> ted 84th Inst, from the L'ollah Delegation to the ,eague, aommunio ting the refuunl of the volleh Government to allow M. Jos ULrkln of the Jewish Col -nlaation Aaooolatlon the permission to enter voland to m to ^riangementa for the eraoua- tion of the non-polltloal refugees, threatened with expulsion
by the i’ollsh Government.
You .Ill see from Mr. W olf’s letter of Maroh 7th, In thle doBsler, how very essential hie jrganlB.'tlon considéra Ur. Mlrkln's presence In * olond, to arrange expeditious me sures for the ersiou-tlon of these refugees, and C should therefore be extremely gr teful If, In the olroumetanoes, you oould poaslbly t-ive effect to your (suggestion that the ^oLlen Government might be oked to rooonslder Its dec1si on In this mi t ter . You will not, E ?m sure, fall to appreciate the exceedingly difficult position In which these refugees will be placed If, on the one hand, the z-olloh Government Insists on their expulsion, and, on the other hand, It refusea to afford adequate facilities to the Interested o r g n l e tions to organise their departure, seeing tlvit h vlng lost their status as Itusslan nationals, they
cannot enter r.usala.
You will also be Interested to see copy of a letter dated I2th Inst, from M. Togltoherlne, In reply to Dr. Hansen's offer to arrange for the repatriation of nuoh of these refugees uo express the doeIre to return to Runsla. We h ve no information regarding the negotiations mentioned In 11. Tchlt- oherlne's letter, between hlti Government and the ollah Government, but a the j’olluh Govornment cannot be expected. In the clroumt)tances, to insist upon any upeolal g u a n n t e e a In the interest of thoae refugee, after their return to Russia, £ think it would bo eslrable if the olleh Government would ask the High OonmliiBloner to make the necessary repatri? tlon rrangements with the 3oviet Govornment. Dr. Uunven oould then
not only press for similar gu’ r ntees to thop.e obtained for refugees repatriated from the Balkans, but afford > oex'taln measure of protection to the refugeea after their arrival in
cussla.
You will aee from iûr. Wolf's letter of the ^4th Inst, that he has now waived his objection to the repatri; tion of such re L’ugoes as express the desire to return to Russia. He also oaks that an early meeting of the Advisory committee of the Hig Comalu k uriat be oonvoned by Dr. Nansen to consider the question of the Russian ..efugues In . oland, and t a ouch a meeting la now long overdue, I feel that It would be somewhat difficult not
to give e feot to thie request*
we have recently at-de oeveral représentâtlonr to the Polish Government requeating it to i.dopt the Identity oertïièite sya- tom rooommende by the Governmental Conference of 1 st year, but without result. Poland la p n o t l o a l l y the only country In iurope closely lnteroeted In the R u eeL n Refugee problem, hioh has not dopted this system, :nd it would be moat desi
rable if Its adhesion oould be obtained as soon aa poualble, as it would -robably give the High Commissariat a very clear indl- o tion aa to the numbera of Refugees Involved by the expulsion
1
You will gather from the foregoing that there are throe principal points to whloh we should like the .‘d i s h Government
